Lift Your Eyes: A Biblical Study of the Psalms of Ascents

Before You Step Into What’s Next, Lift Your Eyes to God 

The end of the year can leave you carrying what’s behind you while already worrying about what’s ahead. Lift Your Eyes: A Biblical Study of the Psalms of Ascents is a four-week journey designed to help you pause, remember God’s faithfulness, worship Him no matter what you’re facing, and trust Him with what comes next. 

Through Scripture, prayer, and a curated worship playlist, you’ll walk through the Psalms of Ascents and prepare your heart for Advent with renewed hope. 

Join us beginning November 30 in the FREE First 5 app.

I sat beside my friend as she shared the details of her difficult season …

Here’s what our First 5 friends are saying …

  • God has impacted my life in a positive way through First 5. He has increased my interest in learning more about the Bible. The daily reading keeps me dedicated in my learning journey.

    Leslie Y.
  • When I look back at my 'My Moments,' I can see that First 5 has helped me do more than just read Scripture — it has helped me truly engage with it. I’m not just reading words anymore; I’m asking what they mean for me in my everyday life.

    I’ve started to recognize God in my own story. Through loss, hardship, and blessings like my family and home, I can see He has been present all along. First 5 has helped me connect those moments to His Word in a way I never did before."

    Carol G.
  • I have been doing these first 5 studies every morning for the last year, and it completely shifts how I go about my day! When a morning gets busy and I miss one, I feel such a difference in my attitude and heart! The Lord has such a powerful way of working in my life through these!
